February 2007 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This study investigated the effectiveness of combining eflornithine cream with laser treatment for facial hirsutism in women, compared to laser treatment alone. Conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 31 participants, it found that the combination of eflornithine and laser treatment resulted in significantly better hair removal outcomes. At the study's conclusion, 93.5% of the eflornithine-laser treated sites achieved complete or almost complete hair removal, compared to 67.9% for the placebo-laser treated sites. The study demonstrated that adding eflornithine to laser treatment led to a more rapid and complete reduction of unwanted facial hair over a 6-month period. However, it did not assess the long-term durability of these results beyond 6 months.

January 2012 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This study investigated the effectiveness of adding topical eflornithine to standard laser hair removal for treating pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) in 27 male patients. The trial was randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled, with patients receiving laser treatments every 4 weeks for 16 weeks. Eflornithine cream was applied to one side of the neck, while a placebo was applied to the other. Results showed a significant reduction in hair and inflammatory papules on the eflornithine-treated side, with a median hair reduction of 99.5% compared to 85.0% on the placebo side. The study concluded that eflornithine enhanced the efficacy of laser treatment for PFB, although follow-up was limited to 16 weeks.
